You have a whole life behind the answer.

If you have spent years being called capable and complicated, or finding language for yourself later in life, a single label may leave a great deal out. This is a place to notice what is happening in one part of your life, today.

Your Stack of STIQS is your Strengths, Temperament, Intellect, Quirks, and Story. You will name a little of that context, then reflect on four Bird Brain modes. Your Neuroselfie gives you your answers back with useful questions and a small next step you can choose for yourself.

The interactive quiz needs JavaScript enabled in your browser. You can also meet the four Bird Brains and explore their questions.

A few Just Right distinctions.

Is this a diagnosis or a personality type?

No. A Neuroselfie is a reflection on your current answers in one context. The Bird Brains are archetypal modes you may recognize in different combinations. They do not assign a diagnosis, measure intelligence, or establish a permanent type. You do not need a diagnosis, a particular age, or a particular identity to take part.

How do my STIQS shape the result?

Your five STIQS answers describe the context you bring. They appear in your Neuroselfie in your chosen words. Twelve separate activity statements show how much you currently recognize of each mode. The quiz does not turn your Story, your Quirks, or your Intellect into points, and it does not claim to explain why you answered as you did.

What does the Bird Brain Johari Window show?

The Johari Window asks what is known to you and to others. In Paige’s Bird Brain framework, Eagle asks “What Is?” in the open pane; Parrot asks “What If?” in the blind pane; Owl asks “What Now?” in the hidden pane; Hummingbird asks “What Next?” in the unknown pane.

Your answers alone cannot establish what another person knows. After your Neuroselfie, optional prompts help you explore the four panes with that distinction intact. The blind pane needs another person’s observations. The unknown pane remains open to discovery.

Why these four birds?

Paige’s modes attend to real avian traits: an eagle’s keen sight, a parrot’s vocal learning, an owl’s hearing, and a hummingbird’s finely controlled movement. The animal observations and the Bird Brain framework each have their own place; the biology does not validate a human assessment.

Eagle: bald eagles can spot prey from more than half a mile away. National Park Service
Parrot: parrots can learn new sounds throughout life; a study of monk parakeets found preliminary evidence of individual vocal signatures. Max Planck Society
Owl: American Barn Owls use their hearing to locate prey, even in darkness. Cornell Lab of Ornithology
Hummingbird: Ruby-throated Hummingbirds can hover and adjust their position in several directions with precise control. Cornell Lab of Ornithology
